ISLAMABAD: Chairman Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI) Imran Khan on Sunday summoned a meeting of the PTI core committee for July 15.

Speaking to Dawn.com, MNA and Central Senior PTI Vice President Asad Umar said the core committee will discuss the overall political situation in the country including the issue of IDP’s.

Asad said that the PTI chief had already demanded of the government to allow international NGO’s to start their work for the relief and rehabilitation of IDP’s in Bannu.

This is due to the difficulty being faced by the provincial government to manage around 0.8 million North Waziristan IDP’s which have resulted from the military operation.

The PTI leader said that the party leadership will review the strategy regarding the August 14 long march in detail.

“It is our demand that the government should investigate the issues of rigging in the May 2013 elections including the matter of special ink which was not used for thumb impression during the polls and the introduction of new electoral reforms for the next general elections in 2018,” he added.

He said that the government had failed to fulfill the PTI demands as yet while it is the constitutional right of the party to hold peaceful protests against the ruling government of PML-N.

“The PTI will not change the long march date at any cost because the party leadership has been waiting for August 14 since last year,” the PTI leader added.

Earlier, Federal Minister of Railways Khawaja Saad Rafique urged Imran Khan to change the date of his scheduled long march in Islamabad as it is Independence Day which is celebrated throughout the country.
